⚠️EDIT: I know there is "rye bread" in the US but it's very different than here. You can't find real, Finnish style rye bread there. That's what I mean. ⚠️ This video is filmed one week ago and a lot has happened after it! Coronavirus has arrived in Finland and we live in weird times. For example, all big events have been canceled and people hoard toilet paper and food. Please always wash your hand really carefully before and after the supermarket visit! Stay safe! 💚
Denver shelves have no toilet paper, that's a city of 3 million people, is it the same all around the world? are people really that panicked? common sense just like a regular flu season, wash your hands, don't touch your face, avoid unnecessary contact, stay away from sick people, Just Like A Regular Flu Season, see? no panic.
@@RIXRADvidz If too many people get corona in short period of time there isn't enough medical equipment to take care of all sick people. That's whats going on now in Italy, they have to choose who has best changes of surviving and let rest die with out proper treatment. So not your regular flu but in the other having shit load of toilet paper won't help you when you need extra oxygen or medical ventilator.
Yep. I was at a rural Pennsylvania Walmart yesterday and a woman carted 5 packages of 24 rolls of TP past me. I'm just glad I bought our monthly household supply of 4 rolls a few days ago. Folks, it's NOT an intestinal virus.
Every K-Citymarket looks little bit different as they work on franchising principle and the owner has some leeway on how they decorate and organize the store although it still has to follow the brand. This is particularly pleasing to look at, not quite the ordinary hyper market.
Hey here is video to our latest Twitch stream video where you can see Finnish supermarket after corona and all toilet paper gone www.twitch.tv/videos/566072774 :D :D
LOL, I love this - Whenever I visit a new country I love going to the grocery store to try and figure out what most people are eating and try it myself. Great video, thanks!
@@Anniarvaja I agree. The quickest way to get a feel of local culture is to eat what the locals do. I'd rather have a reindeer burger than McDonald's any day.
I'm glad you showed the Fancy Cheese. Too many Supermarket Documentary Filmmakers skip the Fancy Cheeses, they think it's classest and elitist, but I do not. I am a simple working man. I love God, my wife, my country, and my Fancy Cheeses.
@@zorrosoxter4703 I am a simple working man. I love God, my wife, my country, my Fancy Cheeses, and I make lighthearted, humorously phrased comments on RUclips videos.
Anni, kiitos thank you for the great videos. I am Finnish citizen too. My mother is from Finland, and miss going to Finnish stores and buying all those great products. Brings me memories shopping with my mummu in Finland.
@@ukko1998 A few years ago the main toilet-paper factory in Finland burned down, and there were acute shortages for months. Fortunately, you can save on paper in Finland because many toilets have a small shower built in to the toilets.
cdl0 True! And I am male, so one roll of paper lasts maybe 2 weeks, so when I bough one big bag of toiletpaper (32 rolls) It lasts easily one year. So to me it’s very weird that people buys hundres of rolls of paper. How lot they use every day?? :D
well I'm sure there are lots of differences that I'm not even seeing but it actually seems pretty similar to some grocery stores in US. nice tour tho it's neat to see the different kinds of products and what is popular there 😊
Hawaii Pizza.... that's a sin!!!! Pineapple should never be on a pizza!!! Big joke with pizza purists in the United States.. Great tour, nice to see what is available in other countries. I love to go to different grocery stores here in the USA, lots of differences in the same city. I remember as a little kid (1960's) on vacation in Florida there being orange juice machines in some restaurants. Keep up the great work!
I'm betting that shoppers come from far and wide to shop there. That's the only way such a huge store can stay in business even in or near a large city.
@@markfergerson2145 Yeah we call these things hypermarkets. There's usually just a couple of them per city, and in larger cities they are away from the city center. In the city where I live we have about 20 000 people and we have two hypermarkets very close to the city center, under 1 km away. Most people do their shopping in these hypermarkets because stuff is a bit cheaper there compared to smaller shops located in the city centers, even if they are part of the same chain of stores. And of course the selection is better in a larger store. Even in Kuopio, a city of over 100 000 people, there's only two hypermarkets. One of each of the large store chains we have here.
@@Kepe In the States we call them "Big Box Stores" because they're built like gigantic boxes with no interior walls to divide departments. Typical brands are Walmart and Costco, and bigger cities can support one or more of each, maybe two if the outlying areas have sufficient population. About a half hour from where I live (in rural Washington state) there's a Walmart that gets customers from the ~20,000 population cities it's technically within the borders of, but also people like me who live quite a ways away. The smaller businesses are still around out here because if all you need is some milk or dog food there's no point driving a half hour and fighting the crowd- the local grocery is a bit more expensive as you say but it's still cheaper on fuel.
@@markfergerson2145 I think the Walmart and Costco concept is very different from our hypermarkets. From what I've understood, Walmart and Costco are for buying stuff in bulk quantities and they look more like warehouses filled with pallets of stuff, while our hypermarkets are just like your local supermarket, but larger and located just a bit further away from city centers than regular supermarkets. As you could see, you can buy just one bottle of beer or a small piece of cheese or a small bag of candy and so on, instead of buying some huge bulk packs of stuff. Actually we don't have stores that sell bulk sized stuff so people don't drive half an hour to get to a grocery store. As for the location, our hypermarkets are usually just outside of the city center, like a 5-10 minute drive from the very center of the city in most places. I suppose it has something to do with how different the city structures are in our countries. In the US, the entire east coast is like one huge city, while here you have one city there, then there's an hour's drive through countryside and then you have another city and so on. And the definition of city is quite different as well. My city has only 20 000 people and it's still called a city in Finnish. We do have some malls which are like a 20 minute drive away from the closest city center, but all our hypermarkets are a lot closer to the city they serve. Supermarkets are more local and serve the people who don't have a car or who just need to get a couple things really quickly and a supermarket happens to be closer than a hypermarket. Personally, I just happen to live very close to both of the hypermarkets in my city so I always shop there.
@@Kepe Costco is about bulk buying, Walmart is just a gigantic store with lots of stuff, from groceries to furniture, and you can buy single quantities of almost everything they stock. I live relatively near the West coast of the US where cities and towns are a lot smaller. The town I'm officially part of has a population of ~800 and there's maybe a dozen such towns between here and the Walmart I spoke of. The city the Walmart is located in has four or five "regular" supermarkets but the traffic to get to them is more than I want to bother with so we go to Walmart once a month but again, if we forget to buy something and are in danger of running out we just go to the small grocery store here in town. Different arrangements for different population densities and different buying habits.
VERY Interesting. Couple of suggestions: try to stop clapping; let us see labels of products (14:50); please don't shake product, it makes it difficult to see label (11:05) (12:20) (12:30). Seriously, I found this extremely interesting and will watch and share the future installments. 😃
Thanks for showing us your food store, and thanks to the store owner for letting you film. Nothing shows how people really live their day to day lives like their food store.
I used to go to Finland at least 3-4 times per year, each time for a month with work, and I have never seen a supermarket as big, wells stocked, or tidy as this one, so I am not surprised this one is the best in the country.
Reindeer is special food here in Canada too -- we only eat it once a year, at Christmas time, unless a confused reindeer lands on the roof out-of-season, then we have that one too! Rudolph steak with Red nose sauce. Yumm! And Olives, the other reindeer garnish.
Those axles are tapered triangles with round corners. Not something you see every day and pretty difficult to make. I wonder why they went with such a bespoke design.
Two minute googling tells it seems to be an industry standard way, two are triangle two are square with taper. I think the reason is that that way the plastic wearing parts can be made very easily and they adjust for the wear and deformation automatically. It looks like two could come up with the same design even without knowing of another.
Great Video. Great Supermarket. We went shopping the U.S.A. today. Meat case was completely empty. No saltine crackers. No toilet paper. No hand sanitizer. I have heard that they are test marketing socialism in the U.S.A. I think it is caused by the China virus. Is linburger cheese a thing in Finland? I remember when I was young eating a limburger cheese spread on Italian bread at my grandmothers. I don't think limburger chease is available in the U.S.A. anymore.
Very engaging vid! Strange how just a visit to a supermarket can be so interesting. It's the charm of the presenters!!(creep creep) Can you buy Wensleydale? I like a bit of Wensleydale! 😀
I try to eat a banana every day. My grandfather did so and he lived to age 98. My mother does so and she is now 90. I'll soon be 57, and other than a couple of weeks off from work after my fall where I broke my leg, collarbone, and some ribs, I haven't called in sick to work in over 25 years. Good health isn't just from eating a banana a day. But it seems to help. 🍌😊👌
Banana is good but fresh banana out of the tree is amazing. The bananas to Finland have to travel so long distance that they are picked raw, packed into boxes and shipped overseas and then they are artificially ripened in huge warehouse with controlled temperature and ethane. They are all green when they arrive to Finland.
@@Saareem The same happens here in Canada. The store I work at gets them green and they ripen for a day or two then we put them on shelves for sale. Sometimes have to put them out green because they sell so fast occasionally.
I just realized that the Finnish language doesn’t seem to have the “sh” sound. What sound do you make when you want to tell someone to be quiet? (In English we say Shhhhh!) Also, very fun video!!
Moi Anni Lauri and Sami. I can't read the labels when you shake the packages around :-) My fish has to be cooked :-) My favorite yogurt is peach :-) I am a confirmed milkaholic :-) At least I can read your labels, don't understand Suomi though but I can sound it out unlike the Different Russia channel. I do like Valeria's channel too. That orange squeezing machine was neet :-) Happy Spring. Thank Sami for letting you shoot his store. Toilet paper is out here too :-)
The price of chicken comparison between Us and finland and Dk, where i come from is unfair. As far as i know chicken in the US is simply not a part of the animal welfare laws and is not tested for salmonella. You can eat chicken in the nordic countries with a good consviousnes and no fear of sicknes. that the price difference , and i think its worth it,
My favorite cheese is Juustoleipa. In Wisconsin, USA we get it here... www.brunkowcheese.com/brun-uusto/ the best cheese ever! Enjoyed the video very much
Glad you enjoy it! Laughed out loud at "juustalepia" on that lable in the link. At least they noticed later on though, lol. Though swedes have a completely different word for it, but dont tell the folks at brunkowcheese that shhhh. Also, most people know it as leipäjuusto, juustoleipä is a rare regional variant of the name.
That appelsiinijuicemachine was so cool, I have not used it so it was awesome to see it working! 😃🍊 Kiitos Sami, Pirkkalan Sittari is a great store! 😁👍🏻
Sarpale666 I first saw that kind of orange juicemaker in one cafe in Canary Islands about 10 years ago and my local citymarket has had one about two years now.
Thank you, Anni! Here in Ukraine we have a bit smaller prices: apples for 0.3-0.9€/kg, bananas for 0.95€/kg, tomatoes in summer for 0.5-1€/kg. And aslo rye bread is very popular as well, I would say even more popular, than wheat bread.
Is Canada make zndo the I fo !!@@@! Well I made it past the intro, posted that nonsense and then passed out before the end. Not sure what the "game" was but I feel like I won?
@@scuzzjumper Congratulations, you survived! 🏆 Your alcohol tolerance level is now at least: *Finnish!* 🇫🇮 Now, this is a cause of celebration, and to celebrate it like a true Finn! 🥳 What that means you might ask, is that it means of course one and only thing: *consuming shit load of booze!* 🍾 Don't worry, you've earned that. 👍 *Hölkynkölkyn!* (cheers!) 🍻
That store reminds me of a store here in the US in the next city over from mine. It has the sushi and a section that sell specialty cheeses from around the world a long with a deli that makes everything in house fresh nothing prepackaged. Thanks for sharing Anni can't wait for the next one
Nice store! Looks very similar to our regional store here called Wegmans. Most larger grocery stores here are open 24/7 except maybe Christmas day so it would be hard to find a time with no customers. At night they re-stock so aisles are all full of boxes and carts with just a few customers.
We had to film this on March because the store starts 24/7 open hours since the beginning of April. 😄 24/7 stores are not so common here, but coming shortly.
Pizza is a interesting food in America. If you're from the New York City area, like myself, nothing that comes frozen in a box can be considered "real" pizza. New York City water actually makes our food taste different than anywhere else in the country!
Hey anni, i am surpised. these sausages you showed in the end, are also very popular here in austria. we call them "Knacker" its common in austria to grill these sausages at a bonfire. They were aslo eaten cold, just with salt, pepper, fresh onion and mustard 😊 greetings from austria, and stay well
I live in England, but am fortunate enough to come to Finland 4 or 5 times a year for work, in Helsinki, Espoo and Joensuu. Your supermarkets are much better than ours - the quality of the fresh stuff like meat fish bread and vegetables is way better.
@@TheOriginalMaxGForce I'm afraid I have no pride in my country. I've worked in every single EEC country, and can honestly say that in my England is exactly like a second hand sofa. Every place I've been to has better quality food in the supermarkets, better public transport, is cleaner and generally a nicer place to live.
Moi Anni! Watching early Saturday in the states. It was really cool to be able to tour the story before it opens. It's amazing how much sushi that place sells! See you tomorrow morning😀 Edit:Watching again, wondering what the color coded sign by the sushi was🤔
Beautiful supermarket Anni!! N the midst of this Virus and people acting badly too here in Tucson, Az!! So sad😢. So very thankful for your video, so entertaining ♥️ Am going to catch up on your Jolou video with you and Sari making Pipparkakku like my Isa and Aitti made with me when I was little girl♥️ Keep the wonderful videos coming! Sending you both a big hugs!! Taina ♥️
The cheese aisle almost made me weep. I thought The Good Food Store had a good selection in the US but that grocery store blows their doors off. I haven't met many aged cheeses that I don't love, but I can't eat them any more because of a conflict with some medicine I take. I'm content without the liver box though--IMO something the CIA could use as part of their blacksite torture program to make innocent taxi drivers confess to being international criminal masterminds. I'd try the reindeer because even though I'd prefer to be vegetarian 100% of the time, I have a lifelong hobby of trying less common meat on rare occasions. I got it from living near a restaurant that seemed to serve whatever roadkill the could find or what exterminators brought in. I've had raccoon, opossum, squirrel, alligator, random turtles, rattlesnake, grasshoppers, ants, armadillo, bees, deer, elk, bison, moose, and probably several others. Elk is my absolute favorite, much better IMO than any mass produced meat. I wish ranchers out west would free range them rather than cattle.
That is just the packaged cheese. I think many big ones have cheese counter as well, even in finland, let alone in france, italy etc. I believe my local market has an employed cheese cutting professional working one shift a day lol
3:00 these are quite good-looking bananas! Even if a bit expensive. Where I live in Russia, bananas are typically sold for 1-1.25 EUR/kg, though often enough they are too green or spoiled (but then they could be down to 0.7-0.85 EUR/kg, lol). Also, in Russia, almost all bananas are from Ecuador. In Finland?
I can't understand all the vegetarian "meat" and sausages things. If people can't live without the taste of meat they should eat meat. (btw real meat this is much more natural compared to the vegetarian type). If you are a real vegetarian you won't need such artificial shit.
Nice to see you making a series of the Finnish supermarket! 😃 It's actually pretty similar to the Swedish ones, but we don't have the sushi thing. I really wanna see what the American supermarket is like, it would be really interesting to see a video about that too. Sorry but this question might be a bit unrelevant to the video, but how has the Coronavirus affected you? In Sweden, everything is getting canceled at the moment.
Yes, I have noticed that the Swedish supermarkets are pretty similar! Yesterday was "wake-up call day" for Finland and right now we have 155 corona cases here. All big events are cancelled and government said that it´s better to stay home if you can. I´m really worried for my friends because many of them are enterpreneurs and they are losing works right now. Interesting to see what happens later.
Thanks for sharing that ... I have so many happy memories of trying heaps of cool products from CityMarket ... Being able to just buy products from the shelf that I usually make from scratch felt amazing to me.
Moikka Anni ja Lauri, loves the video, the gorgeous grocery store. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3! I would like to see how many näkkileipä Finland has! Kiitos 💖

That's wery weird to see that store on this video, becouse I go there pretty often. That was good video!😁
Banana is the best selling fruit at the Sobeys store I work at as well. It must be a universal flavour almost everyone loves :)
Banana is so easy snack and it's easy to take with you. 😄
I try to eat a banana every day. My grandfather did so and he lived to age 98. My mother does so and she is now 90. I'll soon be 57, and other than a couple of weeks off from work after my fall where I broke my leg, collarbone, and some ribs, I haven't called in sick to work in over 25 years.
Good health isn't just from eating a banana a day. But it seems to help. 🍌😊👌
Banana is good but fresh banana out of the tree is amazing. The bananas to Finland have to travel so long distance that they are picked raw, packed into boxes and shipped overseas and then they are artificially ripened in huge warehouse with controlled temperature and ethane. They are all green when they arrive to Finland.
@@Saareem The same happens here in Canada. The store I work at gets them green and they ripen for a day or two then we put them on shelves for sale. Sometimes have to put them out green because they sell so fast occasionally.
I just realized that the Finnish language doesn’t seem to have the “sh” sound. What sound do you make when you want to tell someone to be quiet? (In English we say Shhhhh!)
Also, very fun video!!
It's the same "Shhhhh!"
Mukava video! hyvä että Suomen laadukkaat elintarvikkeet pääsee näytille muulle maailmalle:)
What a great store , wide isles and a huge selection to choose from !
Very good episode ! However, i was waiting for Hernekeittoa and Savumuikkuja öljyssä, to appear at some point. ♥
Wow! I just fell in love with this store!
I always thought that Valio hedelmäpommi (in engl.Fruitbomb) is most popular
youghurt in Finland.
It probably suffers from not being the cheapest one around. Arkijugurtti is cheaper hence people tend to buy it.
Here in the USA this video would only be about 30 seconds. Grocery stores are empty...
Nice! Your supermarket seems pretty nice. My local supermarket is about 1/4 empty because of people coming to stock up on everything. It's crazy.
What a Huge shop! I must say the liver box is a personal favourite as my mum (who is Finnish) used to make it for me when I was young.
Ours in the UK are packed full of people panic buying toilet roll at the moment.
Moi Anni Lauri and Sami. I can't read the labels when you shake the packages around :-) My fish has to be cooked :-) My favorite yogurt is peach :-) I am a confirmed milkaholic :-) At least I can read your labels, don't understand Suomi though but I can sound it out unlike the Different Russia channel. I do like Valeria's channel too. That orange squeezing machine was neet :-) Happy Spring. Thank Sami for letting you shoot his store. Toilet paper is out here too :-)
I were also bothered by shaking of the items.
The price of chicken comparison between Us and finland and Dk, where i come from is unfair. As far as i know chicken in the US is simply not a part of the animal welfare laws and is not tested for salmonella. You can eat chicken in the nordic countries with a good consviousnes and no fear of sicknes. that the price difference , and i think its worth it,
It's also packed full of growth hormones and antibiotics in the US. In EU that's forbidden. 🙁
My favorite cheese is Juustoleipa. In Wisconsin, USA we get it here... www.brunkowcheese.com/brun-uusto/ the best cheese ever! Enjoyed the video very much
Glad you enjoy it!
Laughed out loud at "juustalepia" on that lable in the link. At least they noticed later on though, lol.
Though swedes have a completely different word for it, but dont tell the folks at brunkowcheese that shhhh.
Also, most people know it as leipäjuusto, juustoleipä is a rare regional variant of the name.
@@are3287 very interesting! Thanks for the info. We will let them call it whatever they want, just keep making it!
That appelsiinijuicemachine was so cool, I have not used it so it was awesome to see it working! 😃🍊
Kiitos Sami, Pirkkalan Sittari is a great store! 😁👍🏻
Sarpale666 I first saw that kind of orange juicemaker in one cafe in Canary Islands about 10 years ago and my local citymarket has had one about two years now.
Thank you, Anni! Here in Ukraine we have a bit smaller prices: apples for 0.3-0.9€/kg, bananas for 0.95€/kg, tomatoes in summer for 0.5-1€/kg. And aslo rye bread is very popular as well, I would say even more popular, than wheat bread.
American here. 🇺🇸 Finland looks like a nice place! 🇫🇮 Love you two's videos!
Thanks for the tour, Anni, you and Lauri had me laughing several times, so I think it was a bit better than 'pretty good'.
2:58 Most popular fruit in the world- Some people even say it is proof that god exists
great video! thanks! but now i'm very hungry ^^
14:53 These just look like Cervelas from Switzerland! :D We also eat them at barbecues or over a bonfire with sticks.
It's always good to shop at the best... this was a very interesting video... looking forward to seeing more.
sinappi with the sausage! so good summer time food!
Great video! Kiitos!!! 🙂🇫🇮
The bakery in the store is so cool!
Yes! Freshly baked breads every day!
It is a delicious thing
the make your own orange juice thing is super cool
NAKKI!!!!! MORE NAKKI :D
Drinking game: Take a shot every time Anni claps/puts her hands together 🥴
Edit: Leave a comment if you can make it past the intro
Is Canada make zndo the I fo !!@@@!
Well I made it past the intro, posted that nonsense and then passed out before the end. Not sure what the "game" was but I feel like I won?
🤣🤣👏🙏
Kind of cheap over there in NL you pay way more 👀
@@scuzzjumper Congratulations, you survived! 🏆
Your alcohol tolerance level is now at least: *Finnish!* 🇫🇮
Now, this is a cause of celebration, and to celebrate it like a true Finn! 🥳
What that means you might ask, is that it means of course one and only thing: *consuming shit load of booze!* 🍾
Don't worry, you've earned that. 👍
*Hölkynkölkyn!* (cheers!) 🍻
Challenge accepted dude!
That store reminds me of a store here in the US in the next city over from mine. It has the sushi and a section that sell specialty cheeses from around the world a long with a deli that makes everything in house fresh nothing prepackaged. Thanks for sharing Anni can't wait for the next one
WOW! I'm gonna love this series. Thank you for showing this experience! Learned a lot in this video.
Nice store! Looks very similar to our regional store here called Wegmans. Most larger grocery stores here are open 24/7 except maybe Christmas day so it would be hard to find a time with no customers. At night they re-stock so aisles are all full of boxes and carts with just a few customers.
We had to film this on March because the store starts 24/7 open hours since the beginning of April. 😄 24/7 stores are not so common here, but coming shortly.
Pizza is a interesting food in America. If you're from the New York City area, like myself, nothing that comes frozen in a box can be considered "real" pizza. New York City water actually makes our food taste different than anywhere else in the country!
Hey anni,
i am surpised. these sausages you showed in the end, are also very popular here in austria. we call them "Knacker"
its common in austria to grill these sausages at a bonfire. They were aslo eaten cold, just with salt, pepper, fresh onion and mustard 😊
greetings from austria, and stay well
I live in England, but am fortunate enough to come to Finland 4 or 5 times a year for work, in Helsinki, Espoo and Joensuu.
Your supermarkets are much better than ours - the quality of the fresh stuff like meat fish bread and vegetables is way better.
You make England sound like an old couch cushion full of beer farts. Have some pride, Mike. England built the modern World for God's sake!
@@TheOriginalMaxGForce I'm afraid I have no pride in my country. I've worked in every single EEC country, and can honestly say that in my
England is exactly like a second hand sofa. Every place I've been to has better quality food in the supermarkets, better public transport, is cleaner and generally a nicer place to live.
Moi Anni! Watching early Saturday in the states. It was really cool to be able to tour the story before it opens. It's amazing how much sushi that place sells! See you tomorrow morning😀
Edit:Watching again, wondering what the color coded sign by the sushi was🤔
I have to say I applauded when the fancy cheeses came out.... mine is Tilsit and Greyere harder to find in Australia but oooohh soooo enjoyable !!!
*Gruyère
Videos like this are my favorite and I'd love to see more stores!
Beautiful supermarket Anni!! N the midst of this Virus and people acting badly too here in Tucson, Az!! So sad😢. So very thankful for your video, so entertaining ♥️ Am going to catch up on your Jolou video with you and Sari making Pipparkakku like my Isa and Aitti made with me when I was little girl♥️ Keep the wonderful videos coming! Sending you both a big hugs!! Taina ♥️
Pirkkala has the best City Market in Finland but Järvenpää has the wolrd's best store which is also a City Market lol.
Miten voi Pirkkalassa olla suomen paras cittari jos Jäkessä mailman paras cittari.

The cheese aisle almost made me weep. I thought The Good Food Store had a good selection in the US but that grocery store blows their doors off. I haven't met many aged cheeses that I don't love, but I can't eat them any more because of a conflict with some medicine I take. I'm content without the liver box though--IMO something the CIA could use as part of their blacksite torture program to make innocent taxi drivers confess to being international criminal masterminds. I'd try the reindeer because even though I'd prefer to be vegetarian 100% of the time, I have a lifelong hobby of trying less common meat on rare occasions. I got it from living near a restaurant that seemed to serve whatever roadkill the could find or what exterminators brought in. I've had raccoon, opossum, squirrel, alligator, random turtles, rattlesnake, grasshoppers, ants, armadillo, bees, deer, elk, bison, moose, and probably several others. Elk is my absolute favorite, much better IMO than any mass produced meat. I wish ranchers out west would free range them rather than cattle.
That is just the packaged cheese. I think many big ones have cheese counter as well, even in finland, let alone in france, italy etc. I believe my local market has an employed cheese cutting professional working one shift a day lol
3:00 these are quite good-looking bananas! Even if a bit expensive. Where I live in Russia, bananas are typically sold for 1-1.25 EUR/kg, though often enough they are too green or spoiled (but then they could be down to 0.7-0.85 EUR/kg, lol).
Also, in Russia, almost all bananas are from Ecuador. In Finland?
I used to be a shelf stacker in a local supermarket; happy days !!! I like yoghurt, and fried liver !
Oh, please crush the "liver box"!
I can't understand all the vegetarian "meat" and sausages things. If people can't live without the taste of meat they should eat meat. (btw real meat this is much more natural compared to the vegetarian type). If you are a real vegetarian you won't need such artificial shit.
Nice to see you making a series of the Finnish supermarket! 😃 It's actually pretty similar to the Swedish ones, but we don't have the sushi thing. I really wanna see what the American supermarket is like, it would be really interesting to see a video about that too. Sorry but this question might be a bit unrelevant to the video, but how has the Coronavirus affected you? In Sweden, everything is getting canceled at the moment.
Yes, I have noticed that the Swedish supermarkets are pretty similar!
Yesterday was "wake-up call day" for Finland and right now we have 155 corona cases here. All big events are cancelled and government said that it´s better to stay home if you can. I´m really worried for my friends because many of them are enterpreneurs and they are losing works right now. Interesting to see what happens later.
@@Anniarvaja Yep, I hope the best for everybody
Very interesting and impressive. Thank you for sharing!
Hey, tell Anni this was a great video about the supermarket in Finland! 😁👍
So you are now so famous in Finland that they let you into the shop before it opens, like Michael Jackson at Harrod's.
Exactly 😂
Make sure get cheese, and hamburgers and cucumbers
what a beautiful shop. thanks to Mr. Sami for giving the opportunity to see it that detailed.
Yes, it was awesome to film in empty store! :D
Thanks for sharing that ... I have so many happy memories of trying heaps of cool products from CityMarket ... Being able to just buy products from the shelf that I usually make from scratch felt amazing to me.
great video Annie makes me laugh my wife and I think her face expression are the best
3:21 We’ve got the exact same juice machines here in Swiss supermarkets! :o
Moikka Anni ja Lauri, loves the video, the gorgeous grocery store. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3! I would like to see how many näkkileipä Finland has! Kiitos 💖
In the U.S., we use our rye for whiskey. :-) Anything left over, maybe it gets made into bread.
I feel Like traveling to Finland just to get that sushi. And Pitch to Anni and Lauri to start tours of there famous Hydraulic Press.
The sushi is so famous that people travel hours from Northern/Western Finland to get it. 😃
@@Anniarvaja I bet. Can't wait for your next Video and Sundays Stream. :)
